Been there myself in the past.

Been there myself in the past. Still struggling with depression. The only advice I can give you is to give yourself some time. Really think about if you want to do this for another 24 hours, or a week, or a month, depends you how long you can bear it. Play a videogame or do whatever you like, get your mind off your problems for a bit (preferably not with alcohol or similar things) and let your subconscious mind work. When the timeframe you set yourself has elapsed, reconsider. Is it worth doing it just now? Is there stuff you might still want to do in your life? Keep in mind, you can always kill yourself when the pain gets too heavy, it's not a decision you need to rush. I don't know if that works for you, but I'd say this has saved my life in the past, just knowing that you can always end it.
